Simon,I agree with Rob, you continue to nail it. I have to say I think you are finally dialed in with the BD. I thought your first postings with it were a bit hard and the shadows a bit too deep compared to your earlier softbox stuff. This seems much better to me.

It is definitely hard light - close up is ok and like here it is softer but sometimes it has to be further away but with me still wanting the quick falloff that the soft box doesn't give so the shadows become harsher ..... all a bit of a compromise

Yes, I've never been able to satisfy myself with the BD other than really close with young fresh skin. When I try to use it as you have I'm not happy with the results.

Simon, your work, as with a few others on here, is always appreciated and extremely top notch! I wish I had more work to share, but living in a small town (i.e. 700 people), I have a difficult time getting work here. Good thing I'm not a professional trying to make it on my own! LOL

I check out this thread every day, and your work is very inspiring! Thank you for sharing it with us!
